EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image captured at Anfield on April 22, 2009, Arsenal fans pay tribute to their beloved former player, Ray Kennedy. The scene unfolds during the Barclays Premier League match between Liverpool and Arsenal, a fixture that always carries an extra special significance for both sets of supporters due to Kennedy's unique footballing history. Ray Kennedy is a true legend in the annals of Arsenal Football Club. He spent eight years at Highbury between 1967 and 1975, making 236 appearances and scoring 70 goals. His most memorable moment came in the 1971 FA Cup Final, where he netted the winning goal against Liverpool in a thrilling 2-1 victory. Kennedy later joined Liverpool in 1975, where he spent five years and added another 121 appearances and 32 goals to his career tally. As the clock ticked down during the 2009 Liverpool vs Arsenal encounter, fans from both sides came together to honour Kennedy, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2005. Arsenal supporters held aloft a banner reading "Ray Kennedy – A True Gunners Legend," while Liverpool fans displayed a banner of their own that read "Ray Kennedy – An Anfield Legend." The unity and respect between the two sets of fans was a testament to the enduring impact Kennedy had on the game. The image captures the essence of football's ability to bring people together, even in the heat of competition. Ray Kennedy's legacy lives on, not just in the memories of those who watched him play, but in the hearts and minds of the fans who continue to celebrate his achievements and pay tribute to his indomitable spirit.
